Notes from our Igluski Experts

The Elfie is a pretty and spacious traditional chalet in the old part of town on the hill. It’s built into the hillside, so from the street it looks like you’re walking into a tiny house. It’s about a 15 mins walk to the lifts, or simply take the bus if you don’t fancy the walk. The great advantage of the chalet Elfie is that all the rooms are suites, with an additional living area in each room, making it ideal for friends who want a room each.

Chalet Elfie - St Anton, Austria

All the Elfie’s spacious suites sleep 2-4 guests in two separate sleeping areas, comprising an Austrian twin bedroom and a separate room with fitted corner table and seating, plus either an Austrian twin bed or an Austrian twin sofa-bed.

As we allow the suites to be occupied by just two guests if you wish, these suites offer a unique opportunity for two friends to have separate sleeping quarters at minimal additional cost!

The dining-room and lounge were recently redesigned and refurbished for us for your comfort.

Access to the ski slopes is easy, with a ski-bus stop only 30 metres from the front door. And the start and end of the ski day is made even easier for our Elfie guests, who have rented skis as we have organised free ski and heated boot storage in our ski-hire partners resort centre shop, so you don’t have to carry your skis to and fro at all and can head straight for the après-ski in your own comfy footwear!

Please note that at the owner’s request, we allow a maximum of 25 adults in the Elfie. Approximate Transfer time to resort: 1 hour 15 minutes

Meals - Chalet Elfie, St Anton

We set very high standards for our cuisine, and train our staff extensively before the season starts, to ensure that you will thoroughly enjoy every meal on your own holiday with us. We also take our Health and Safety responsibilities extremely seriously, so all our chalet and Chalet Hotel staff during the pre-season training course are trained to the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health’s Level 2 in Food Safety*. For six days of the week our staff prepare all your meals, as described below.

Breakfast

A good breakfast is essential on a ski holiday, so we provide both a cooked breakfast including your choice of bacon, eggs, sausages and beans, as well as a continental selection with a choice of cereals or porridge, fruit juices, plentiful tea, coffee and bread (and croissants in France), cold meats, cheese and preserves, which is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. On our staff’s one day off a week, only the continental breakfast will be provided.

Afternoon Tea

The traditional ‘welcome home’ after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you in your chalet or Chalet Hotel, ready for your return, every day except on the staff’s one day off per week. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of freshly home-baked cake and keeps hungry skiers happy until dinner is ready. As an added benefit for guests in our Chalet Hotels, our chefs prepare a selection of cakes for afternoon tea.

Children’s High Tea

In Chalets and Chalet Hotels with family guests, High Tea provides children under 13 years with a healthy menu, tailored more towards children’s tastes and puréed food is available for infants on request. High Tea is at 5.30pm, and children do not join the main adult-only dinner.

Dinner in Chalets

A tasty and innovative, freshly cooked dinner will be prepared for you six nights per week by your Chalet Host – or by an experienced and professional chef in our larger chalets – and served with a choice of wines. Our four-course adult-only chalet dinners start with canapés and an apéritif, followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert, and completed by coffee with chocolates to round off your evening. Your choice of complimentary quality wines is unlimited during the meal service, and freshly chilled water is also of course always available.

Chalet Elfie Reviews

The holiday was for week commencing 27th March 2011. With regards to the Chalet, the staff were brilliant. The food was more than acceptable, with no two nights having the same content. Each night we were given a 3 course meal and each morning there was both a continental style breakfast, traditional cereals and a hot option. Cake was available from 4pm and there was canapes at 7.30pm. The rooms were really appartments rather than your traditional en-suite bedroom, so loads of room to spread out your ski gear.

With regards to the resort, the town was very pleasant and the prices in the bars were not as expensive as France. Don't expect to buy new ski wear in the shops as those prices were very expensive, even in the sale.

The snow, when we were there, was disappearing fast. However the slopes were always well groomed in the mornings.

My only reservation about the resort was that the ski areas are a little disjointed and required using the bus service to get about.

Highly recommended chalet perfect for groups. We were a party of 8 and had a large room for 2 people. The decoration and facilities are a bit ancient, but that wasn't really an issue. The TV room is brilliant for chilling, playing games if you're not heading out. Food was average, breakfast was good but evening meals were needlessly complicated. Classic dishes would be much better. The bus stop outside the chalet was very useful in the morning, and also being able to store ski's/boots by the ski lift made life easy. Overall I would recommend the chalet, its good value and you get what you pay for. The resort itself is awesome.
